Horrible circus

Pros

I have nothing good to say.

Cons

Toxic workplace. Lots of unprofessional behavior. Leadership is very top down, and C suite has unrealistic expectations. Communication is lacking and employees are blamed. No job is safe here. They are getting rid of people left and right. Lots of gossip happens during meetings. Such a toxic environment. Trust me, they may seem nice during the interview, but this place will destroy you.

Disappointing experience

Pros

Decent pay and some interesting code to write here and there. If you're a database person, the place could be good.

Cons

Snail pace of development. Their touted culture is nothing to be impressed by, I found it pretty lacking to say the least, nearly worst I've seen in my entire career. I didn't feel proud that I worked at MongoDB either. No regrets for leaving.

Pros

Great remote onboarding. They make an effort to ensure you get connected to everyone and understand the products.

Cons

Once you’re out of onboarding, get ready for the fire hose. And don’t expect to make grand process change. They are stuck in their inefficiency and seem fine with it. You’ll be too busy reminding people to review documents to spend time on problems that would create actual value. I’m surprised developers don’t completely run the place (maybe that would be better). There’s a cult mentality in the company. If you are a developer and / or a prior intern who started here and worked your way up, you’re tops. If you’re a program manager, there is a limit to how far you can grow here. The product team needs serious help and are not pulling their weight. Oh and whatever amazing culture they had being a scrappy company has been lost; Amazon execs took over C-Suite.
